The number of people who are carriers (heterozygous) for PKU if there are 33 of the 300,000 people in Corpus Christi, TX, have PKU is 15. Heterozygous or also called as zygosity refers to having the unlike genes or different genes.
Answer:
The tryptophan synthase enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of tryptophan. This enzyme is found in all kingdoms except animals.
Tryptophan synthase has a hydrophobic channel that facilitates the passage of an intermediate from one enzyme to the other during the biosynthesis of tryptophan, which makes faster the metabolic process.
Answer:
a. The formula for finding the number of colonies in a given volume is,
CFU/ml, here CFU is the colony forming units or the number of colonies formed in a volume plated in ml × dilution
The dilution factor given in the question is 1 × 10⁻⁴ and the number of colonies given is 186. Therefore, the number of bacteria present in the given 1 ml of the milk is,
CFU/ ml = 186 / 1 × 10⁻⁴ = 186 × 10⁴.
Hence, the concentration of bacteria in the milk is 186 × 10⁴ CFU/ml.
b) The limit of the bacterial concentration in the pasteurized milk is 20000 CFU/ml, however, it can be seen that the sample of the milk possess more concentration of bacteria than the desired value. Therefore, the milk is not safe to drink by Public Health Standards.
Explanation:
The influence from radioactivity is inversely proportional to the number of chromosomes , since , humans have more DNA , chromosomes than the insects , and therefore , due to less chromosomes in insects , they are more resistant towards radioactivity .
As the target of the radiation is the DNA .
Hence , It is clear that insect due to lesser DNA are less prone to Radiations .
